First, try shutting down all of your computers, then
restarting them. If you are using Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS), it is important that you restart the
computer on which ICS is enabled [it should be the only
computer on your network with a modem] before restarting
the others, as the ICS computer supplies the other
computers on the network with their configuration
information.
It would be helpful to know a little more about your
network. Are you using Internet Connection Sharing? How
are your computers networked? How many computers do you
have? Do you know which computer is trying to dial out?
If not, can you isolate which computer is causing the
problem by turning off one computer at a time, until the
problem stops [e.g. turn one off, if the problem
persists, turn it back on and then turn off the next
computer, etc.]? Are you running any other type of
software [such as antivirus software] on any of your
computers that might need to connect to the Internet for
updates?

>>Without knowing how you networked your computers it is
>>difficult to say, however, I'd guess that one of three
>>things is causing your problem:
>> 1) One (or perhaps both) of your computers is using
>>third-party software for dial-up Internet access, and
>>that software is configured to be an "always on"
>>connection, so it dials automatically.
>>
>> 2) One or both computers has Automatic Updates
enabled,
>>so it automatically attempts to connect to the
>Internet.
>>
>> 3) Some other type of software is launching the
>autodial
>>feature.
>>
>>For possible solutions, check the following, one at a
>>time:
>> 1) Check to see if you can turn off autodial/always-on
>>features on the software that you use to access the
>>Internet.
>>
>> 2) If enabled, turn off Automatic Updates to see if
>that
>>corrects the problem.*
>>
>> 3) Investigate to see what other programs might have
>>features that automatically attempt to connect to the
>>Internet.
>>
>> 4) If you are using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
>to
>>network your computers, you can disable the ICS on-
>demand
>>dialing feature. Disabling ICS on-demand dialing should
>>prevent computers on your network from launching dial-
up
>>connections without permission. To disable ICS on-
demand
>>dialing:
>>a) Open Network Connections.
>>b) Right-Click the dial-up connection on which you want
>>to enable ICS on-demand dialing, and then
>>click "Properties."
>>c) On the "Advanced" tab, under "Internet Connection
>>Sharing," clear the check box titled "Establish a dial-
>>up connection whenever a computer on my network
attempts
>>to access the Internet," to disable ICS on demand
>dialing.
>>
>>* To find information about turning off Windows
>>Automatic Updates, click "Start," click "Help and
>>Support," and in the Search text box type "Automatic
>>Update," then press "Enter." When the search is
>complete,
>>click on "Full-text Search Matches," select the topic
>>titled, "Turn on automatic updates," and then follow
the
>>instructions to turn off automatic updates. [ If you
>>elect to turn off Automatic updates, I would highly
>>recommend that you either setup a reoccurring reminder
>in
>>your calendar to "launch Windows Updates manually," or
>>schedule a task using Task Scheduler feature in Control
>>Panel to launch Windows Updates at regular intervals. ]
>>
>>** Comprehensive documentation about Internet
Connection
>>Sharing can be found by doing searches for both "Home
>>Networking" and for "Internet Connection Sharing"
>>in "Help and Support."

>>Good luck,
